This webinar will provide an overview of the current legal landscape in the U.S., provide practical how-to information for integrating UAS into your operations, and share insight into the future of this technology. Benefits that the technology can provide your company will also be discussed.  At the completion of the webinar participants will understand:

• How to Foster a Culture of Lean and Innovation - November 17, 2015 / 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT
  Becoming a Lean company is no easy task. It is truly a journey that begins with one person, one initiative or one department at a time. Along this journey, it is critical to obtain sustainability in order for the desired goal to not only be met, but to ultimately become a part of the very fabric of all involved with the process. During this webinar we hope to share a few key points that allude to how we do just that as a team and as a company. The end goal is always about the people (the team) believing in the process because they choose to. It is not through coercion or manipulation, but through respect for others, commitment to becoming better and working together relentlessly for the greater goal, which allows for a culture of authentic change to develop over time. This webinar will discuss and explain some of the key components required for establishing a Lean culture within a business.
